Bed sizes may differ in length, width and depth, including depth of the mattress. The structure of a bed is quite uniform these days, comprising a mattress laid on top of a box spring having a bed frame below it to support the structure. The box spring being the support system of the bed is made up of wood and springs and has similar dimensions as that of the mattress. Bed size mainly refers to the dimensions of a mattress that can be a little wider and/or longer and varies significantly around the world, with majority of the countries possessing their own standards and terminology.
